In this paper, we consider a distributed reception scenario where a transmitter broadcasts a signal to multiple geographically separated receive nodes over fading channels, and each node forwards a few bits representing a processed version…
We study a delay-constrained grant-free random access system with a multi-antenna base station. The users randomly generate data packets with expiration deadlines, which are then transmitted from data queues on a first-in first-out basis.…
